Transition to College

College is a big change, not just for your child, but the whole family.

The beauty of sending your child to a small, liberal arts school
with a strong tradition of community is that we're with them every
step of the way.

Each Saint Leo student has a built-in support
network—a group of people whose first priority is students.
Every residence hall floor has its very own RA and peer minister to
help students make connections and maintain balance. Along with
professional staff, they keep students positive and engaged,
whether they need advice on stress management, homesickness, living
with a roommate or budgeting personal finances. University
Ministry, counseling services, academic
advising and tutoring also help nurture the
mind-body-spirit connection.

And to help parents and families adapt to college life, our
Office of Parent Relations offers the following guides. We hope you
use them as a starting point for many productive conversations with
your child.
